Hi everyone,

My name is Marijn, pronounced as in lemon-meringue, hence the nickname. I am learning BSL level 1 through an online provider, hope to find some opportunity to practice. I was diagnosed with hearing loss and wear CIC's (that is if they aren't out for repairsĀ šŸ˜©) and as my hearing loss is progressive, I may well need SSE/BSL as a communication tool in the future. I work in health care, and although I can mostly get a BSL interpreter for D/deaf clients, it would be useful to have BSL skills, because one cannot rely on the availability of interpreters 24/7 and for every little thing. Furthermore, I love learning new skills, stops the brain from going mushy, but I'm not an academic learner, so learning BSL suits me very well, really enjoying it so far!

      Life-long learning

      By Trixie · Posted

      Hi there, My name is Trixie and I'm learning BSL to keep my brain active. Many years ago, I was learning South African sign language and I loved it! I stopped when I left SA and life has been fairly tumultuous since then. We recently learned that my husband will most likely lose his hearing in the next 20 years or so (he has already lost hearing in one ear completely), so I want to be prepared. It's also good for my ageing brain to learn a new language, so I'm diving in with enthusiasm and

      "Be right back"?

      By Lead Academy · Posted

      n British Sign Language (BSL), to say "Be right back", you can sign it informally as: šŸ‘‰ ā€œSOON COME BACKā€ or ā€œCOME BACK SOONā€ Hereā€™s how: SOON ā€“ Tap your index finger against your cheek or use a quick gesture for "short time". COME BACK ā€“ Point outward (to show you're leaving) and then curve your hand back toward your body. Alternatively, you can fingerspell "BRB" for an informal or digital-style way.
